Lyrics
Back in the day of giftie giving
When all God’s daddies had greens
I was but, oh, so busy living
Beyond several gentlemen’s means
I didn’t care much where I fluttered
Long as my bank roll was buttered
But now my life’s completely cluttered
With soldiers, sailors
Not to speak of those big marines
‘Cause
Refrain:
I’m always doing something
Something for the boys
I’m always doing something
For our lads if it adds to their joys
So don’t tell me it’s a rum thing
If I’m out with them nightly, till three
‘Cause I’m always doing something for the boys
Or they’re doing something for me
